La Banda Del Carro Rojo
Los Tigres del Norte
The Red Car Gang
They say they came from the south
In a red car
They had 100 kilos of coke
Heading to Chicago
That's what the snitch said
Who had reported them
They had already passed the customs
The one in El Paso, Texas
But in San Antonio itself
They were waiting for them
They were the Texas Rangers
Who command the county
A siren was crying
An immigrant was shouting
To stop the car
So they could search it
And not to resist
Because if not, they would be killed
An M16 emerged
As the air was roaring
The headlight of a patrol car
Was seen flying through the air
That's how that fight began
Where that massacre took place
Lino Quintana said
This had to happen
My comrades have died
They won't be able to testify
And I'm sorry, Sheriff
Because I can't sing
Of the 7 who died
Only the crosses remained
4 were from the red car
The other 3 were from the government
Don't worry about them
They'll go to hell with Lino
They say they were from Candil
Others say they were from the altar
Many even say
They came from Parral
The truth was never known
No one came to claim it
